New Fee Structure for Pennsylvania Permits Starting July 1

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation will implement a new fee structure will be enacted July 1 for all types of permits, ranging from single trip/overdimensional, overweight, to annuals and seasonal permits, according to the Specialized Carriers & Rigging Association.

Any increases in fees appear to be modest and this is the first change in the fee structure in over 20 years, the group said.

The main impacts are an increase in the minimum overdimensional fee from $26 to $35 and an increase in the cost per ton mile from 3 cents per mile to 4 cents per mile.
